To ask why my free view now only shows BBC?

[Grinchly]

Shamelessly posting here for traffic.

For last couple of days I can only get BBC channels on free view. I have a relatively old ( nine years?) smallish screen Panasonic .

All the other channels produce a blank screen and ' no signal' but bbc is fine so not the aerial.

Please help Mumsnetters.

( If @thighofrelief is reading, I have tried lying down, eating chocolate and going to the river in search of a technologicallly literate fuckboy, but alas there are none. I do have plastic sheeting and a van, but no internal garage.)

Anyway please HELP!

Have you tried retuning?

It probably needs retuned. They change the channels every so often.

I got a screen message to retune this week, they've swapped some channels around. Unfortunately have lost BBC 4 but I'm setting DH on the problem and am confident he'll sort it.

How do I retune? In the past it was a prompt I would ignore for a bit then do it, but no such prompt now.

How do I force it to think again?

Go into your menu, then follow the prompts from there

I think the BBC is on a different transmitter in some areas as I have the opposite problem - I can’t get BBC no matter how often I retune and even after replacing my digibox. I have been able to get BBC HD since though.

On my telly you go to menu, setup then scan for channels.

Definitely retune.

Settings, then have a poke about and look for Auto Retune.

I had to retune my tv because we are getting a new channel called bbc scotland. BBC 4 is now on channel 82.

No auto retune option or anything like it.
Tried every bloody menu!

What exact make and model TV?

If you google your model of TV you will find a manual online somewhere which will tell you how to do it.

Mine is Menu
Then Installation
Then automatic channel scan or (for you) manual channel scan

Right found dvb manual tuning under menu. Something is happening very slowly....

Sorted! Thanks so much all

It takes ages, perhaps y0u're overdue one!
